Shopping Cart Trick Success

So, I saw on another thread that there was a "shopping cart trick".

 

Skeptical, I figured I would give it a try, since I'm still in rebuilding mode. Went to Express, just messing around, went to the checkout, and the pre-approval appeared. Still skeptical, I entered my information and viola! Instantly approved. Granted, it is a small credit line, but a new TL for the CRAs.

 

I don't shop at Express, so I don't see me using this card often except for maybe getting something for my girlfriend.

 

I love these forums! I've been learning so much and look forward to reporting more great news in the future!

I just tired myself and got a VS card for $350.  I will take it.

 

I just started this process.  You guys rock.

You can use the VS card @ Bath and Body Works as well!  Great place to buy soaps, etc.  Their candles are too expensive for their burn time, but love the soaps!
